although the poster using the handle "Politics" was rightfully banned, i did think he had a valid point. it's hard to swallow Halx enforcing the rules from a "it's MY board" sort of view when it's clear that donations from a wide-range of users keep this place afloat. you can't have it both ways... either you have the complete authority to do what you like because it belongs to you, or you cede that in some ways when you are the steward of other's resources.
either way, the mods get my thumbs up as far as being responsive to my queries and moderating justly.
however, i'm w/Halx on the broader issue... the board has become silly. my interest has wained dramatically as of late. every post seems to require pages of disclaimers to fend off the petty remarks. it has devolved into a juvenile sort of word combat rather than serious discussion.
even so, thanks to halx and the mods for the time they put in.
